What's your motivation for doing PORN?
 

Why do you do porn?

Hey folks, it?s been awhile since I?ve posted but after reading a few other posts, this topic kind a struck a cord with me and I was looking for some feedback.

Why are you doing porn?

Is it because you like working 10-12-14 hours a day?
(Except maybe on the weekends?)

Is it because you can make, $10k-$25K in profits every month
(This a good # for an AVERAGE AFTER expenses?)

Is it because you think being an adult web-master makes you more appealing to the opposite sex? (LOL)

I hear it a lot that porn is where it?s ?AT!? That there?s money to be made, if you just work at it! Which I totally agree but have to wonder at what cost?

I mean, If someone works 12 hours a day, 5 days a week on average, then over the course of a year they?ve spent over 3100 hours bent over a computer.
(Is a income of $120k worth it...Curious?)

Take it a bit further you?re actually worth $38 bucks an hour. Yeah, I know not many jobs pay this type of salary, unless you?re an executive with the right company but to work so many hours and not really get out much, in the way of a social life, I just wonder how some of you plan on keeping this type of income coming in over the years to come? I mean, this isn?t really the type of business you could set up on autopilot and walk away from for months at a time?

So, why do porn?

Your thoughts and analysis are welcomed!

Why do I work with porn...

1. No Boss!

2. Can work from home.

3. Can work my own hours.

4. Able to take breaks, vacations without asking some dickhead if i'm allowed.

5. Can locate anywhere in the world and within 5 minutes direct all sponsors to pay at my new address.

6. Get to look at naked girl pics while "working". Beats flipping burgers or lifting shit around.

7. Money is decent.

1) beating everyone else at their own game. i am hyper competitive :)

2) money. i'll be retiring (in 14 - 20 months - after working for what will be a total of roughly 7 years in this industry), and will never have to work again. ever. that's an extremely powerful motivation for me. now that it's so close, it keeps me going harder then ever.

3) to be honest, i simply love the internet. i know i'll always be involved with it, but likely not in a bottom-line-business sort of way, once this current phase of my life is over.

I worked as a mainstream designer befor I started with adult sites. I'm in it for the money :thumbsup

1. NO BOSS! that's number 1
2. Getting Checks From All Over The World That's Number 2
3. Can take brake any time I want :-)
4. Can Watch and Masturbate While Working :-)
5. Can Take Vacation When I Feel Like It!
6. Porn Biz Is Like One Big Happy Family :-)

It is dynamic, fast, no bullshit like the mainstream clients we used to have.

ok, this will be my first post on this board, after lurking for a while, thnx for some good laughs now and then :)

The answer is pretty easy:

1) money - I've been doing this for exactly 2 years and in 1 month I make what equals 9-10 months of my former income (and I wasn't flipping burgers :) . I expect it to raise quite a bit in the near future

2) the low initial investment in relation to the possible future profit, you can hardly find a biz which looks more promising, even now, where everybody says the market is oversaturated. I'm building 10 niche paysites together with a friend right now, and I expect the initial investment to be equaled out after 3-6 months and from there it's profit only (I hope, pray pray), show me another biz where this is possible (no pimpin' for me:)

3) Time; you're right the initial work is pretty hard. I worked 10-13 hours 7 days a week the first year (but I did so on my other job anyways). But now I can keep my income stable with 10 hours work a week and improve it by doing more than that.
The last 3 months I haven't touched my sites or anything, just building the paysites, which will be launched in a month or so :) and yet I've improved my income every month, which means when you reach a certain plateau, you suddenly have time for trying out new things, without having to ask your boss or loose income.
You're definetely wrong about the autopilot thing. If you work the SE's you can be on autopilot for quite some time before it bites your ass.

4) besides all that it's quite funny to generate traffic, think out sales pitches and experimenting. The only thing I hate is the repeating tasks, which you have do a billion times (doorways, avs-fronts, submitting galleries etc.) gets quite boring after a while.

I smoke bongs.... lots of bongs...

Mmmmmmm...

I'm a compulsive masturbater. I kept getting fired from my other jobs for stroking while i work. Now theres nobody to fire me.

Because it sells, if I could make more selling sunflower seeds, then thats what i would be selling. :winkwink:

I second that motion.

My motivation is

M O N E Y + F R E E D O M

Also the chicks at the Conventions hehehe.. and the parties are great!

I'm doing this because its fun

The money is bonus

Because I am chained to my computer.

HAHAAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

:1orglaugh

I'll fire ya, big boy...wink wink, nudge nudge...

i do it because this is the only job i have ever actually enjoyed doing. nothing beats waking up in the morning and actually wanting to go to your job....

I do it for the good of society.

I do it because looking at stats and balancing it is like a SIMgame. and when it goes right I get pay too.:)

also knowledge gathered, can help in other online ventures too:thumbsup

i just do it so i can jerk off unfettered

No, we are all doing this out of fun.

Because it beats working in the oilfields or on the cow shit farm...

All the free gay porn

anybody that just said money ... needs to rethink their answer a bit. There is a lot of shit you could do to make more money.

sell drugs, pimp, etcetera....

dunno

how many times can you go to raves and sell advil pills as extacy before youre caught? Not many :(
Thank God for porn.

I asked my parents if I could use the family credit card and join a paysite. They said no. Now I do porn to piss'em off. Being 15 sucks... :(

If anyone knows of another profession that allows us to earn what we do.

Plus the added bonus of the occaisional 3some with a pretty, sexy and willing girl.

Let us know cos this is getting a bit boring:winkwink:

I do this because of the money mostly. What I make two days doing this is what I got every two weeks working part time retail.

My goal right now is to make $5000 a month by August and I know that is very possible the way I am going.

Besides, I don't mind sitting in front of the computer for extended periods of time. I can watch TV while working, talk on the phone, instant message friends, eat, etc etc.

It's a wonderful life!

My main motivation is the money

And it's the only way I can look at naked chicks without my girlfriend bitching about it :winkwink:

Okay this is my motivation for doing porn.

You know how companies in order to keep the cattle in line offer such fringe benefits as Hawaiian Shirt day?

Well here in my one man company I have the same thing going on...except for it's everyday:
Monday: wear underwear if you feel like it day.
Tuesday: wear the same underwear as Monday day.

I think you see where this is heading.

The Money, the Freedom, and the fact that this is one of the few jobs that is easier when you're comfortably numb. I love porn.

I do it just to see the look on peoples faces when they ask what I do on the internet.
I tell them I do adult sites and most of them give you that "your a pervert look" and then the next time you see them they just can't ignore it anymore and want to now what is the address to your sites. hehe
I guess the extra cash is pretty damn cool to.

Some of the coolest people I have met in life and business work in this industry.

Also, the money, the freedom etc etc. Contrary to popular belief it is still incredibly easy to make money in online porn.

I'll like to jack off a lot...free porn makes it easier.

Rent

That point is well taken! I didn't think about that!
But, besides the search engine, there doesn't seem to be anything else you can really put on autopilot...

You'll always have to keep building...I guess it's like that saying form "Field of Dreams".."Build it and they will come!" :)

As for those that say they're going to 'retire', what type of income do you think it will take to have in the bank to actually 'retire' and walk away from this business and live comfortably for the rest of your life?

Just my thoughts as I ponder through this simple life of mine! :)

Kuwawawah,

True...so true!

Well Quiet posted that he could retire in about 20 months...damn man he posted a screen shot awhile back of his stats...he's going to be able to retire :)

for me, it's hard to make alot of money in this business, due to limited skills, all I can gain from working in this buss. is learning how to gain traffic and how it flows and hopefully oneday this information can be useful for me. :2 cents:
